No he doesn't, he dances in the backfield because he has no vision or natural instincts as a runner.
Barry Sanders could turn a 5 yard loss into an 80 yard gain, Knowshon turns a 5 yard gain into a 2 yard loss.

AAA,
He is not a Barry Sanders runner, never has been, never will be. When he is healthy and running confidently he does hit the hole and turns a 2 yard gain into a 5 yard gain. The only problem is he is constantly hurt and has little confidence. I am referring to the K.C. games. Go back and watch his confidence grow when he makes one cut and gets up the field. |

As for the RB debate
1) Willis - Runs hard, with great vision, and outstanding balance.
2) Xavier Omon - One cut, get up the field, always finishes going forward.
3) Knowshon - Can catch, block, and when he runs hard he makes one cut and gets up the field.
4) Hillman - by default
5) Ball - He will get you 3 to 4 yards a carry, not flashy, but consistent
6) Johnson - I expect more from this cat, He has talent, but is unremarkable in any aspect of the game. |
Johnson is a cat? That could be tough to defend. But how does he carry the ball? Cats lack the opposable thumbs needed to hold a football.

Knowshon Moreno has very bad tendencies that are always going to creep up regardless of whether he's feeling "confident" or not.

The point I was trying (and failed) to make is that if you're going to be a RB who dances around in the backfield you better damn well have Sanders-like skills. Moreno doesn't, obviously, and thus he needs to learn how to hit the hole hard and get up field rather than constantly dancing around in the backfield.

Here are my thoughts: Nate Irving is doing way better than last year. I'm stoked about that now to get Mays out and maybe even Trevathan can eventually take DJs spot! Wolfe is gonna end up being a DE so much for that DT help.

Need a GM for a Sept GM mock draft for Denver still. Draft only. Check the forum. Sorry to bother.

I disagree, I think Wolfe will start out playing DE at first and maybe slide in at DT on obvious passing plays, but eventually he'll be a full time DT.

I hope that's the case not saying I want it to happen. Lol

John Clayton said on twitter that he thinks Hanie could be cut and Broncos might look for a more experienced Back up. ( I don't have the link maybe someone can post it but yeah) I agree Hanie hasn't showed much would rather have Colt or Matt Moore maybe Idk just speculations.

Mark Kiszla: Broncos can fix dents in their defense with 3-4 alignment:
http://bit.ly/NWxJUc
He seems to have a point but would this move be really feasible at this point? Right now, I would even say that our LB corps is more of a weakness than our DL corps. A 4-3 would put more capable players in at once, whereas as 3-4 would mask some of our personel problems at the LB position. Yet to have 4 LBs in the game on a constant basis requires more depth at this position. Also, Mays, Brooking, Mohamed and Irving aren't exactly the body types for a 3-4 MLB.
4-3:
Wolfe-Warren-Bannan-Dumervil
Miller-Mays-Woodyard
3-4:
Wolfe-Warren-Bannan
Miller-Mays-Brooking-Dumervil

I just read this. It's Too late now and I don't think our LBs are deep enough for that

Teams always run well on us when we are in our Nickel defense, so a 3-4/4-3 wouldn't matter anyway. And you don't just switch the alignment of your Defense with 2 preseason games left to play.
